Property Description
THE PROPERTY An exceptional four-bedroom detached home on one of Fulflood's most sought-after roads, combining the timeless charm of a 1920s house with a striking contemporary extension-just moments from Winchester's mainline station, highly regarded schools, local amenities and the city centre.
Homes of this calibre and position are rarely available, and 4a Fordington Road represents a unique opportunity to acquire a beautifully reimagined family home in one of Winchester's most desirable residential areas.
Originally dating from the first quarter of the 20th century, the house has been thoughtfully and architecturally extended by the current owners to create a remarkable modern living space. The contrast between the understated elegance of the original home and the bold, light-filled contemporary extension is both seamless and visually stunning. Double-height ceilings, expansive glazing, polished concrete floors and carefully designed sightlines create a sense of volume, light and connection throughout.
Set back from the road behind a mature beech hedge, the property enjoys a high degree of privacy. A block-paved driveway provides off-road parking and leads to the original front door, framed by a timber and glazed surround beneath an attractive arched storm porch. Inside, a welcoming hallway with polished solid oak wood floor sets the tone, drawing the eye through to the impressive extension beyond.
The principal reception room lies to the front, featuring a large bay window, bespoke shelving and a fireplace with a Morso wood-burning stove, creating a warm and inviting space. A practical inner passage with fitted storage leads to a generous utility room with skylight, while a cloakroom sits conveniently off the hallway.
To the rear, the house opens into a truly spectacular open-plan kitchen, dining and living space. This double-height room is the heart of the home, flooded with natural light from extensive glazing and skylights, and designed for both everyday family life and entertaining. The sleek, contemporary kitchen features floor-to-ceiling cabinetry, integrated appliances, Silestone quartz worktops and a central island with induction hob and breakfast bar.
The dining area sits adjacent to bi-fold doors opening onto the garden, creating a seamless indoor-outdoor flow.
The adjoining family seating area enjoys garden views and bespoke built-in storage, while a raised snug, accessed via cleverly designed timber steps incorporating shelving, offers a cosy retreat complete with wood burner and integrated projector for cinema-style evenings.
Upstairs, a wide galleried landing leads to four well-proportioned double bedrooms, a family bathroom and a separate shower room. The principal bedroom enjoys elevated, far-reaching views across the garden and towards Winchester's skyline.
Outside: the rear garden is a particular feature-generous in length, predominantly south-facing and beautifully arranged to maximise both sun and outlook.
A polished concrete terrace continuing the flow from the dining area immediately adjoins the house, ideal for outdoor dining and entertaining, while a pathway leads to further seating areas, a garden store and a superb garden office with power, light and bi-fold doors. The lawn is bordered by mature planting, offering both privacy and year-round interest-perfect for families, keen gardeners or simply relaxing in a peaceful setting.
Schooling: The property falls within catchment for Western CofE Primary School, The Westgate School, and Peter Symonds 6th Form College, each of which are within walking distance. Nearby independent schools include Winchester College, St Swithun's, King Edward VI and preparatory schools such as The Pilgrims' School, Twyford School and Prince's Mead.
Location: Fulflood is a popular family location, being ideally situated for access to the historic town centre, as well as having Winchester's main line station within easy walking distance, there are a number of popular local pubs and shops, takeaways and restaurants in the area. A further walk brings you into the historic town centre with its wide range of shops, boutiques, cafés and eateries and public houses. Further entertainment and interest can be found in the river walks, the theatre, cinema, many museums and the city's stunning cathedral.
